Hat tip to Lem.

Leisure Suit Larry Strikes Again

I don't know if you have been following the post about the bakers who lost the case about the gay wedding cake on Lem's site. It was an interesting discussion until Leisure Suit Larry slithered onto the scene.

He proceeded to do his usual act. Insulting people. Demanding apologies. Lying. Threatening. Treating Father Fox with an unbelievable lack of respect. The respect due a human let alone a man of the cloth.

Lem was kind enough to shut it down after it took a particularly disgusting turn and deleted a few really bad comments by Lawnboy. I thank him for that.

I think Michael Haz had it right. It is time to disassociate ourselves totally from TOP and the evil duo. They are obviously flailing about trying to drum up blog hits. Lawnboy even stooped to a direct link which is right out of his pet Bubbles bag of tricks. I will not addresss him directly regardless of the nasty stuff he spews about me. I suggest we all do the same. I also hope that those of you who are administrators will simply delete Larry out of hand. As he does at his wife's blog. Most of us left there never to return. It is simply not right to let him follow us to Lem's to start the same crap.

It has been almost a year. Can't we be shut of these shits already?

Who is this Jim Dolan character?

Well it ain't the guy who owns the Garden and Cablevision. He is to busy fucking up the Knicks and the Rangers to bother posting on Lem's Levity.

He ain't the baldheaded dofous who is busy running to fires and shootings for Eyewitness News in NYC. He is too busy screwing up his reporting to post on the internet.

It ain't even the Jim Dolan who was one of the main troublemakers in the famous "Lincoln County War" along with more famous scoundrels such as John Chisum, Pat Garret and William Bonney.

It is your humble correspondent and bathing beauty Trooper York.

I switched my business email to Google Mail so I have to be signed in to work on my emails. So when I surf over somewhere sometimes I forget to change back so my real name comes out occasion. Since I only post here and at Lem's I am not to worried about it.

You can tell by the picture I don't sweat much.

Ari nails it.

So I wander over to Lem's and I notice that Leisure Suit Larry trolls a serious topic right out of the box. Aridog calls him on it and of course there is a tit for tat. Ari rightfully calls out Lem who as usual is silent on the matter. I have been mulling over this very subject for a while.

I think if Leisure Suit Larry is a continuing welcome presence on Lem's Levity then I will be scaling back my participation there in a big way. I don't want or need contact with those people. It might be time to step back. If the idea is to call out Larry and his pet Bubbles then it is time to move on.

Sorry Lem

 

 

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha......................................ha!

Smile when you say that partner!

Deletion policy is a very interesting thing. It has destroyed certain blogs. It eventually rears it's ugly head when blog matures and enough people have been there long enough for factions to develop and resentments fester. Of course these fights can start much faster when the dynamic is transferred to a new blog with people that know each other from other places.

I am basically a first amendment absolutist but maybe I am also the self righteous hypocrite that some have delighted in calling me. By limiting access to this blog I have basically eliminated the problem. I did have people here who I gave the benefit of the doubt like Titus and Inga and the Crack Emcee. Their own mental compulsions and psychosis led to them being banned. I can control that because it is a closed blog and you have to be approved to comment here. But if you are approved you have free reign. To curse and blaspheme. To say stupid stuff. To be stupid as much as you want to be. But I draw the line at attacks on family or children. I don't think it is fair to attack a spouse who is not commenting and is not on the internet. They are innocent and it is not cool to bring them into the fight. Children are always off limits.

What to do with someone like Meade is interesting. I like Michael Haz's policy to delete personal attacks with extreme prejudice. That works with Meade because that is all he's got. I mean why a person who calls everyone at Lem's racists and sexists and homophobes but still wants to post there should be a mystery. But it's not. He wants to drum up business for his wife's declining blog. He did so much as openly call for people to go over there today. I joked that TOP averaged 25 comments a thread now but Icepick corrected me. It's more like 35. Whoopise.

I have not been at Crack's or TOP for over a month. It is funny how you can still be fully informed though. I have a lurker who doesn't comment here but sends me excerpts and reports. I don't comment directly on them because I don't want to follow the link to give them clicks and page views. So I might mention them in a passing comment and let people correct me if I got it wrong. For instance I heard that Crack posted Michael Haz's photo in one of his ridiculous diatribes. Now both Michael and I are not scared of He-Man Master of the Universe threats from Crack. He is selling Wolf tickets he can't cash. I mean he was ruminating about who he knew in New York that would come to the store and shoot me. Nice right. You can't get too upset about the ravings of a lunatic.

I hope this chapter in our journey in the internet is over. Now that Crack is being ignored or deleted when he shouts racism and makes juvenile threats we can concentrate on important things. Marilyn's dalliance with Uncle Herman. Nubile starlets of the 1960's. And of course the fact that Betty Rubble is a dirty girl.

Let's keep our priorities in order.

Some Advice for Crack

Sometimes it's hard not to laugh at crazy....even the best of us have to laugh at a sad clown

This whole thing with Crack at Lem's place is getting ridiculous. It is a snowy day in Brooklyn and we had to cancel all our appointments. So I have been involved in the big mash up with the tag team of Crack and Meade against all comers.

It reminds me of a tag team battle royal. Sort of like Mr. Fugi and Professor Tanaka taking on all comers. And losing badly.

Crack has become a one note crazy. It was amusing to me to have Leisure Suit Larry jump on a comment and mock me  by saying "Trooper York reads the Macho Response every day. Who knew."
Which is pretty funny since I don't. Just as I don't read his wife's crap either. I don't have to do that. People always drop by or email choice tidbits. You don't have to read either to know that it is always the same shit. But I guess I am pretty predictable. Just instead of racist rants or tongue bathing gay marriage you get naked pictures of Betty Rubble. Or Betty White. So I guess we are all predictable.

Crack seems to have totally lost it. Saying he hopes I get a "Knock Out Punch" or that I  should get shot in my store is pretty out there. But at least he is being honest and  saying what he has been thinking about for a long time. Better that it gets out there for all to see.

You make the call sports fans.

I just have to laugh.

There definitely something going on in Cloud Cukoo Land

So this is getting ridiculous.

First off Leisure Suit Larry is all over Lem's joint picking fights in the  hope of bringing traffic back to the other frigid vortex. He even started telling AllenS that he didn't know anything about farming.
As you know Little Debbie smacked him around pretty nicely but that didn't stop him.

Now someone emailed me a link to the post where the Evil Blogger Lady put up a post talking about "Plus Size" woman and "chic lit." Plus size and writing. Is some one trying to send me a message.

Probably not. I mean why be paranoid? That is what people think all the time. That everything is about them. I don't think that but I have to laugh.

One of the things that made me laugh is that we didn't see our pal Freeman Hunt for months until Larry was getting smacked around at Lem's. An interesting coincedink don't ya think? I love how Larry claimed President Mom Jeans was really Fred  4 Pres but doesn't realize he has his own handmaidens and lickspittles. Or maybe he does.

It just makes me chortle.

I just want to stay out of Bear Traps. (That is a hipster trap pictured above)

Michael Haz has a great new post at Lem's Place

Where he talks about snow. Hopefully Leisure Suit Larry will show up to get deleted. That would be fun.

Be sure to leave him a comment.

Lem was surprised when Brian was killed!

But we all knew it was only a matter of time. You can't do the kind of stuff he used to do and expect to get away with it. Just sayn'

Congratulations to Michael Haz

Congratulations to Michael Haz for becoming a new contributor to Lem's place at TOOP. I am looking forward to his hard headed wisdom and good Midwestern values which always give me something to think about. It will be a great addition to that blog.

Special kudo's to Lem for getting rid of some deadwood and bringing in people who are actually interested in keeping his blog alive. Good move amigo. You are on roll buddy!

Poor Lem

I went back and read the first few posts at TOOP and I had to laugh. The posturing and the posing by various people is a sight to behold. This all happened at the beginning of July and now it is the end of September. Various people who were behind he concept be they commenters or contributors are in the wind. I have a very good bullshit detector and let me say that most of them didn't fool me. They might have fooled some of the people but you should be able to realize by know who is a worthless  loser.

I think Lem has found his feet and is doing good work. Chickie, Little Debbie and Chip Ahoy have been consistently good. I go there every day to see what's new. To me that is the sign of a good blog.

I hope we can give them some support with our comments.

All is vanity!

Today's first reading:

Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth,
vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!
Here is one who has labored with wisdom and knowledge and skill,
and yet to another who has not labored over it,
he must leave property.
This also is vanity and a great misfortune.
For what profit comes to man from all the toil and anxiety of heart
with which he has labored under the sun?
All his days sorrow and grief are his occupation;
even at night his mind is not at rest.
This also is vanity.

You know I thought a lot about vanity while I was sitting there in church. How vain we all are and all the crazy things we are vain about. Our intelligence. Our talent. Our looks. Our probity. Our integrity. Our position in life. Our blog?

I think one of the main components of the big blow up at TOP is vanity. The Evil Blogger Lady is the epitome of vanity. She thought her pearls of wisdom were so great that everyone should bow down to her and worship every peep. Her commenters added nothing. Just background noise and an embarrassment to her when they did not voice the politically correct line. They were bigots. Not decent. Not worthy of her attention or of being on her platform. They would  not even pay for the privilege of her thoughts. What fools.

On the other hand many of the commenters were pretty vain. They thought that many if not most came to the site for the comments. The caustic interplay and insights are what made that site. I confess I myself was pretty vain in this regard. So I went over there and picked a fight with them. And now I pick a fight with Leisure Suit Larry at every opportunity. I hate to see his bullshit go unchallenged so I go in guns blazing like Lucas McCain. And for what? Vanity.

Muhammad Ali used to say "It is hard to be humble when you are as great as I am."

It's true it is hard to be humble. To remember that we have a short time on this earth and our time is better spent than in petty disputes with petty people. I search for humility and I always fall short.  The wife tells me that I always think I know how to do somebodies job better than them and that I think I know it all. I don't know it all. But I know a lot of shit. And I can tell when I am being bullshitted.
When we talk about stuff I don't know about I keep my mouth shut. If you are talking about repairing and building something I would listen to what Sixty Grit or AllenS had to say and keep my mouth shut because I don't have a clue. It's easy to be humble when don't know anything about the subject.

I have to strive to be humble and let go of my vanity. I get in trouble a lot because I fight other peoples battles. I am pretty self-sufficient and I am not worried about much but when other people  get smacked around I have to jump in. I doubt that I am going to stop doing that but I can be a little better at being humble. Let go of my vanity.

The only vanity I want to have to think about it that hot chick that Prince used to bang.

You ever notice how some woman can just not get along....

I mean it is the same for guys. We are no different. Hey I bet I am the worst offender.

But it is pretty funny when the women want to start up. That Fiona bitch is just itching. Maybe it is her sunburn.

Just sayn'

I just don't think it is worth it.

Well you know who has shown up at Lem's joint so I think I am going to stop posting there.

I just don't want to be fighting every day with a moron. It is bad enough that Meade is showing his hand as the grifter he has always been. That is sad enough. Now that Nazi cunt is going to make everyone miserable.

It is just not worth it. Lem doesn't get it. The place will be destroyed.

I don't want to be Kung Fu fighting all the time.

I am a good boy!

 

From Lem's Learning Levity: The funniest comment there yet!

@madawaskan, I'm one of Lem's best commenters. Perhaps you should take your own suggestion
